Good News About the Drug War!


Mexico's commerce crawls back from drug war's chaos.

Some stats from the news article:

"In a study of homicides provided to USA TODAY, institute researchers found that organized-crime-related murder dropped 21% in 2012 - the first time those numbers fell since the drug wars escalated in 2007. That trend was especially pronounced in Mexico's six border states, which saw a 32% drop in organized-crime killings."

"data from the University of San Diego and U.S. intelligence assessments indicate that the Mexican side is seeing a sustained drop in violence."

"The murder rate in Tijuana has dropped from 41 people per 100,000 in 2008 to 21 last year, according to the San Diego study."

"For the first time since 2007, murders in Juárez, a city of just more than 1 million, fell below 1,000 to 797, after reaching a high of 3,622 in 2010, according to Juárez officials and U.S. law enforcement data."

"carjackings - a serious drag on the city's efforts to rebuild its tourist base - have declined dramatically, from a high of 2,550 in October 2010 to 210 this past October."
